  2. I stopped following the amateurs awhile ago-man that was surprisingly impressive. Lopez demonstrating textbook USA boxing
  3. What he did last year but more consistent effort.
  4. Yeah, I was worried he might be a dbag but he sounds like a good person with a great sense of humour/personality.
  5. interesting add. hes got some nastiness to him. I wonder if they get him to play his offside with Hughes? That has the potential to be EP/JT like
  6. I think so to. On one hand, the Canucks need to push for the playoffs and on the other, the long term success of this team depends on the younger guys in the system. Although Covid has forced their hand, it might be necessary to see if younger players can play next season to have long term success. Hope that makes sense.
  7. There are a number of underwhelming contracts on the books-thats true. However, JB is showing just how shrewd he intends to be with this young improving team. If the Canucks roll the dice with a bunch of young guys I applaud it. Give the guys who can play a legit chance. And if it's a condensed season why not get that youth energy in the line up as well. If it goes south it will be stealth tank job for 22-23 when you really start going for it.
  8. Really? I'm actually really impressed by that if I'm reading into it correctly.
  9. Dude, Matt Benning was the guy I wanted, esp if Tanev doesn't come back. But like you say, I think it could have become awkward having your uncle as the GM. Ah well, too bad.
  10. Most likely it wasn't an avenue for Matt or the Canucks given possible nepotism distractions. I'm sure JB would love a player like Matt
  11. &^@#ing rights JB

     

    "I’ve got different avenues to make the team better. Signing our own guys is not the only avenue I have to improve the team.

      ^^^ thats when you know a new team core has arrived.

      He's got no cap space to go the free agent route that much and it also makes trades extremely difficult.....so it's not like he has alot of options available.

       

      Not doing anything might be the best move he can make.  Let's see what the drafted guys can do & fill in the rest of the positions with cheap UFA's.

       

      What this club doesn't need is another franchise killing Loui E type of contract.

  12. As much as I like Stetcher the person, the more I think about it not qualifying was the right call. Biega was a similarly a fan favorite but he was a bottom pair defenseman and his salary reflected that. That all being said I'll be curious to see how things shake out for Stretcher. Could still be a spot for him here
  13. I wonder if the canucks have high*er* hopes with Bailey making the team next year (goes without saying I know)
  14. I'll hazard a wild guess but maybe they needed to retain his rights because of a trade possibility down the line
